Tough Old Bird

Posted At : 25 August 2009 13:05

It was reported this month that fried chicken specialists KFC have had their feathers ruffled by a Chinese chip shop chain who they accuse of infringing their trademark.

The copy cat shop – called Sweaty Granny - has set up 15 restaurants using KFCs traditional red and white fascia colours…but replacing Colonel Sanders with the face of a smiling old lady!

Even more bizarre still, Chinese trade authorities have decided to take no action, stating "We don't think it's a rights infringement'.'

It appears grandma really does know best!
